A man attempting to sell an iPad at a pawn shop could hold vital clues to a burglary where cash, jewellery and electrical goods were stolen.

The man is captured on camera at the store in Church Road, Northfield, on April 17, just a day after the robbery at the house in Lindridge Road, Minworth.

The burglars caused extensive damage to the property when they forced open rear doors.

Investigating officer PC Andrew Moore, of West Midlands Police, said: “As part of our investigation into the burglary, our inquiries led us to the pawn shop. CCTV in the store has captured a man attempting to sell the device to staff who were suspicious and refused buy it.

“We’re keen to speak to this man as we believe he may hold vital clues about the burglary.

“I’d urge him to come forward and speak to me now and explain how he came by the stolen iPad.”

The man is described as white and in his 20s. He’s believed to be around 5ft 8in tall and of medium build. He was wearing a red Adidas tracksuit and a dark coloured NYC baseball cap.

The man or anyone who can identify him should call PC Moore on 101. People can leave information anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
